Let us remember within us
The ancient clay,
Holding the memory of seasons,
The passion of the wind,
The fluency of water,
The warmth of fire,
The quiver-touch of the sun
And shadowed sureness of the moon.

That we may awaken,
To live to the full
The dream of the Earth
Who chose us to emerge
And incarnate its hidden night
In mind, spirit, and light.

What is feminine awakening? What does it really look, feel, sound and taste like? Recently we dove into an exploration of this wild and ever-evolving terrain in our Feminine Awakening series, kicked off by the brilliant Chameli Ardagh, founder of Awakening Women Institute.

Absolutely. Yes. My lived experience is that the plants are waiting for us to hear them. They are teachers, they are allies. And they offer the keys to nothing less than our individual psyches and our capacities to cocreate with Spirit.

You rise.
You feel into the heart break and you let it burn.
You feel that burn, and you let its flames throw you
up against the walls of your fear,
and then you let it blaze through them.

You cry, you roar, you bellow.
You let it rip through and unclog your brilliance.
You beg to be unleashed,
and you mastermind your own unleashing.
You let your Soul take over.
You allow the dismantling... View details ⇨

I've made it part of my daily practice to reach out to a sister each and every day and encourage her, by telling her what it is I love and admire about her - to help her see her own greatness. Would anyone like to join me in this practice for a week? ~ Sophie

Look at how the mangrove forests that you are planting will protect the coast of Madagascar from wave erosion! Thanks to you, we have just funded 73,000 of them.

In our #climatechanged world, these trees are a bountiful gift in so many vital ways. As well as protecting the land from erosion, they also cleanse the oceans, act as nurseries for vital dwindling fish stocks and of course,... View details ⇨

“One of our people in the Native community said the difference between white people and Indians is that Indian people know they are oppressed but don’t feel powerless. White people don’t feel oppressed, but feel powerless.

Deconstruct that disempowerment.

Part of the mythology that they’ve been teaching you is that you have no power.

One of the great wise elder women of our times, Maya Angelou shares how the pain of her childhood sexual abuse was alchemised through poetry and literature, into the triumph of full self expression. Thank you for your wisdom Maya, rest in peace sister.

Consider what you are inhabiting right now…
Your body is life intelligence incarnate.
You are crafted out of the breath of trees -
waters that have flowed through air,
rock and soil since life on Earth began.
You are seed, grass, bough, fruit, flesh and wing,
you are the encoded experience
of everyone that has come before you
and every element that has lived you.
At the deepest level, you... View details ⇨

Yes! A Thousand Yeses!
Melissa McCarthy and Ellen on how women need to look for each other's beauty and strength and resist the old, boring habits of tearing each other down.
Together, we can do anything.

This is what women do, I've been walking this earth for 64 years, I can safely say I do find that many woman friends. We do tear each other down, we are influenced by media's message to be this or that , buy, spend! Yep, your right,

Did you know that plastic Christmas trees are up to 20 times worse for the environment than real trees? Of course, a potted tree is the best option. Or even better, making your own version of a tree using a fallen branch! ... We'd love to see and share your creative, eco-friendly Christmas tree and holiday decoration ideas - please share them in the thread below <3

I think that nothing warrants killing a tree for a few weeks of what might be termed 'pleasure'. Why do we need to bring a tree into our house? there is nothing better than enjoying nature as it is. Putting a silver star on a real live tree would be a true joy and it would involve no killing.
